Harvey Wallbanger

The Harvey Wallbanger is a classic alcoholic cocktail consisting of vodka, Galliano and orange juice. This cocktail is quite potent and will give you hair on the chest. It is a cocktail that is easy to keep on drinking and you might stay clear of walls. The legend tells this cocktail was inspired by a Californian surfer “Harvey” who was fond of drinking “Screwdrivers” spiked with Galliano liqueur. One day, he lost a big surfing contest and having a particularly bad day. He went to his favorite bar and washed down his sorrows. After a few too many cocktails he tried to find his way out of the bar and walked straight into the wall. From that day on, he was known as “the Wallbanger”.
